Freedom is a simple to handle Menu Bar application designed to block the Internet access at specified intervals of time.

This program might come in handy during busy work days when it's imperative to stay focused on your assignments and ignore websites that could distract you from your tasks and chores.

All you need to do in order to use this app is to select the desired interval of time for blocking Internet connections and click the Start button. I liked the fact that even though I shut down the program, it still prevented me from accessing the Web.

Another good aspect about this utility is that it lets you schedule Internet power-offs for future work days.

Nevertheless, if you require Internet access to complete your work tasks, the 80Pct Solutions developer recommend you to try another software: Anti-Social. The aforementioned program can block users from accessing certain distracting websites like Facebook, YouTube, etc.

Personally, I wouldn't acquire this application mostly because it doesn't allow me to enter the preferred interval of time (you can only select from a list 5-60 minutes). Also, a global hotkey combination might prove to be of good use for immediately starting the Internet blocking process.

Pros

  • Easy-to-use
  • Lets you schedule Internet blocking sessions
  • Sits quietly on your Menu Bar without using a large amount of CPU resources

Cons

  • Unable to enter the desired Internet block interval of time
